Description
Aerial view of the Mudd Ranch in Glenn County. The white house was moved to the headquarters at the Mudd Ranch about 1948. It formerly stood on the home site on the Black Ranch, 1 mile east of the Union Oil Plant, south of Willows. The house was built by a Mr. Halterman, a building contractor of Willows. All of his houses were quite similar in design. Ernest O. and Helen Baker lived at the headquarters in this house while their large home on the Black Ranch was being built in 1949-50. They subsequently moved back to their new home on the Black.
